The tour guide was Awesome. He was very knowledgeable & very entertaining. There was a lot of pressure to buy things at the different places we stopped. This was a bit of a turn off. We found the vendor quite pushy & persistent which deterred from the Great information we were learning about each culture.

I would recommend booking with Viator. As a comany they keep you updated via text or emails and their guides are very friendly and informative. On our tour of Ephesus, Artemis & The House of Mary our guide Tugba was very knowledgeable not only on the historic values but on the Island itself which added a bonus to our tour. We couldn't of wished for a better guide. Thank you Tugba from Graham & Margaret
